Clubs feeling vindicated after dodging Liverpool disaster – ‘Scandal professional’ on end of huge fine

They explain that after he boycotted a game against Bayer Leverkusen on April 14th, Werder Bremen went in hard, suspending the midfielder until the end of the season and handing him a record punishment of ?125,000.
That?s the fourth highest in the history of the division, falling behind Rafinha, Diego and former Liverpool teammate Sadio Mane, who was hit with a ?350,000 fine after hitting Leroy Sane last season.
Keita?s fine is in response to his refusal to travel for the game against Leverkusen, which just added to the frustration with the former Liverpool man, who has spent most of the season out injured and was no longer part of their plans anyway.
